Requiem 08 - Hymnus Heaven [English translation]

I stand and wonder

Move as if dreaming

And a sunbeam breaks through

The sea of storm-clouds

And the birds in the tree

Sing me their concert

I am filled with joy

Which endures forever

And I see whatever I saw before wasn’t real

This must be heaven

Whatever I sought is now revealed

This must be heaven

And an angel comes to me

His wings snow-white

His voice so gentle and

He whispers softly

And he takes my hand, saying,

"Be not afraid!"

So cool his fingers

And he leads me into the light

And I see whatever I saw before wasn’t real

This must be heaven

Whatever I sought is now revealed

This must be heaven

Whatever I saw before wasn’t real

This must be heaven

Whatever I sought is now revealed

This must be real
